agumonkey··on The AI Race Just Got Awkward
Kinda agree statistical modeling relies on all the hard work, effort, passion and risk taken from just about everybody.
agumonkey··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
Iirc it was successfully used so in the CGi world (nuke and maybe maya mel)
agumonkey··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
It hits a sweet spot for a lot of basic UI needs.
agumonkey··on Modern Object Pascal Introduction for Programmers
Perfect to implement your own haskell I guess :p
agumonkey··on Excel now supports multiple values in a single cell
Indeed. Sometimes it's hard not to think about gaslighting in this field.

By the time it takes to make a custom filtered table non extensible UI for an api, the excel guy is finished three times over
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
a form of group driven quality enforcement would be cool
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
thanks :)
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
to avoid concentrating users relationships into bubbles ? i'd be worried there would be no way to build meanful long term conversation (unless I didn't understand your idea)
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
I get it. I don't even want something as large and featured as HN. Just a dedicated space.
agumonkey··on Web-based IBM 1620 emulator and IPL-V from 1963
Oh thanks. The first pages are already very interesting.
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
Any other similar books ?
agumonkey··on Web-based IBM 1620 emulator and IPL-V from 1963
I need to find readings about the various versions and projects made on them.
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
Yeah makes sense. It might also be a different culture, software likes hacking and open source, while serious medicine not so much.
agumonkey··on Web-based IBM 1620 emulator and IPL-V from 1963
I didn't realize IPL lasted that long since indeed it's mentioned by mccarthy as a strong influence.. somehow I always assumed it meant pre-1959.

btw, for people who were there at the time, even considering the bare metal assembly nature of IPL, were people already approaching solutions similarly to lispers in the 60s ? aka dynamic generic lists, tree traversals etc

agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
I kinda agree about reddit, either too much noise or gatekeeped (iirc some medical subreddits are mostly students or professionals only).
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
Hacker news is dedicated to 'tech' and I'm looking for advances in biology.
agumonkey··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
Anybody on HN knows platforms to discuss this ?
agumonkey··on Contrastive Language Models
I wonder if there are research on when system 2 keeps taking over because system 1 has derailed.
agumonkey··on Good people refuse to do bad things
Fair point but sometimes groups evolve, they may go from acceptable to immoral while you're still in it.
agumonkey··on Good people refuse to do bad things
And also cost. Standing out from the pack is always costly, you may not find job right away, you might be outcast .. the more we have safety nets the easier it is to quit bad groups.
agumonkey··on The Claude Delusion
Makes me wonder if training weighted social media text close to older and higher grade webpages (colleges, research labs, national statistics)
agumonkey··on Teen Social Media Bans Miss the Point
Personal anecdote, and not about social media per se but the infinite-wall aspect of today's web, made my brain behave in very scary ways. I had a few times where I didn't order my hand to swipe (because I was expected to do something else right away) but my hand swiped. It was sufficiently against a part of my mind that it felt 'not me' and it happened a few times, sometimes even more complex movements.

To me it's an evidence that the brain is that sensitive to neurological reward to the point of being bent into automatic aimless actions just for the sake of keeping the cycle going.

It's not as deep and harmful as alcoholism but still too large not to ignore.

agumonkey··on Vinix – A modern operating system written in V
i could never find any data on what would allow v to save so much time. i genuinely tried to find objective information, not kneejerk hate. you're the author it seems, so maybe you can give some hints ? i don't believe gcc is the absolute best, but even clang (I didn't check other languages/compilers) was lagging behind in the benchmarks which made me doubt it was not just comparing apple and oranges.
agumonkey··on Orchestrating Claude Code Agents: The Chief of Staff Pattern
Quality is in the economy I guess.

afaik it has none of the costly compiling passes..

agumonkey··on Vinix – A modern operating system written in V
It was impossible to verify the "earth shattering claims" of the designer/users early on, and they would be very very emotional every time you just question the metrics. At one point there was a chart that was basically "for a given task, every compiler on earth: 1min, us: 0.1sec"

And whenever you poke you found it seemed to be comparing apple and oranges and conversations often ended in v users crying because "this is a new project !"

(yet, the crowd kept growing and they seemed to have produced larger and larger projects with this thing)
